:helmet:As most anyone with a brain could see, the computer rankings are fraud. The very same fraud that led us away from just voting for a champion. Media, and money rankings determined football school rankings period. "Take the actual computing itself. Every week, the six systems input scores, let the computers spit out the rankings and send them to the BCS. That’s it. Nobody at the BCS double-checks the rankings. Only one of the six, Wes Colley, makes his formula fully public. Which leaves five systems open for corruption with no safety net. Massey once admitted that if offered $1 million to doctor his standings, “It would take a lot of willpower to refuse that, to be sure.” 'Death to the BCS:' Nonsense rules - College Football - Rivals.com Very good article on this very non-sense. Fkkk the cheesy Bowl system! No one even cares what bowl your team(especially other teams went to last season, or the last. It's all about a championship. A 32 team championship tournament is the only righteous answer. Money, and influence won't ever buy you another national title. Then we can start working on the Heisman abortion.:thumb::usaflagwa:helmet:
If LSU wins out, we will be in the national championship game. If everyone ends up with 1 loss, SEC champ, Pac 10 champ, Big 10 champ, Big 12 champ, and then you have undefeated Boise and TCU i still think a 1 loss SEC champ gets in.
And I'm certain you'd vote again for Edwin Edwards as soon as he gets out of the klink, because he bought you a 5th of Ripple, and a carton of cigs. I can't believe what you just wrote.
This could be the most controversial year we have seen thus far, and could be what puts the nail in the coffin for the BCS We could end up with the following Undefeated Teams: Big 12 – Oklahoma/Oklahoma St. or Nebraska/Missouri Pac 10 – Oregon Big 10 – Ohio State & Michigan St. SEC – LSU or Auburn Then You will have: TCU or Utah Boise State or Nevada We will end up with the possibility of having 7 Undefeated Teams, 5 of which come from AQ Conferences Who Goes???? No disrespect to TCU, Utah or Boise, all great programs, but they are not having to play against SEC/Big 10/Big 12 teams week in and week out, they are boys among men, they deserve a BCS game, but definitely do not deserve a spot in the BCSNCG Another thing, If Nevada knocks off Boise & Utah knocks off TCU, do you spring those two into the top 5 – NO, so why is TCU & Boise up there to begin with?? In my opinion, the teams who have to play a conference championship game should go, they have to put in the extra game/ In other words, if undefeated – SEC Champ vs. Big 12 Champ But then what happens to Oregon, Michigan St, and Ohio St. Also if Ohio St. & Michigan St. both finish undefeated…who wins the Big Ten?? And do you share the trophy with the winner of the BCS – similar to Auburn in 2004? If so, is that fair to the loser of the BCSNCG???
Given TCU and Boise State are undefeated and all the other BCS conference champs have 1 loss. I would say Bama, yes. They lost early enough. The rest would struggle to get back, a loss puts any of them outside the top 10 and maybe as far down as 15. Won't be enough good wins left to get them past both TCU or Boise State. For LSU, their loss would have to be to Auburn, and of course Auburn lose to both Arkansas and Bama. LSU would then have to play a 1 loss top 5 South Carolina. LSU would probably be around #6 or #7 at that point. Even with all this, I don't see LSU jumping all the way to #2.
The polls have loved LSU for quite some time, actually. Back in 2005, 2006, 2007 and even as late as 2008, we were almost always the highest ranked 1 loss team and highest ranked of the 2 loss teams. We have started to lose that "respect" the last year or so, however. Style points are paramount in LSU's case the rest of this season, as the perception nationally is we are the luckiest team on Earth.
But we earned those rankings with quality wins, and SOS. It wasn't given to us like a CJC team Stanford. How does Stanford come from nowhere to #9? They beat Notre Dame? LMAO!!
